To learn how to use it, I would recommend setting up your IDE (I recommend VS Code) to use mypy.

Then just open a small script you know well, let's say less than 200 lines, and check what "missing" type annotations mypy complains about.

For most cases, the IDE will be able to tell you what it recommends, and from then you can start reading the docs for specific types for a deeper dive.

Question 1: would you be able to use this in a condo without annoying other co-owners? The specs page says the noise level is at 60db. Is this at HIIT level of effort?

Question 2: assuming one buys this and cancel their subscription down the line (subscription fatigue), is the software on the unit useless without it or is there still some basic funcitonnality?

It might have to do with the Czech National Revival[1]. The Czech language and culture was being suppressed in favour of Austrian/Germanic one. Prominent Czech figures worked to preserve the Czech language which included distancing from German words and phrases, redefinition of words and even invention of new ones.

It was pretty much a success and we ended with what could be called Czech 2.0. How many false friends were introduced because of the Revival, I am not sure.

The fundamental challenge of open-source ETL is that high-quality connectors require understanding and working around all kinds of corner cases in the API of each data source. It’s very hard to get open source contributors to do this kind of work; it’s a real slog. Hence at Fivetran we’ve always stuck with the commercial route.

I definitely prefer the TypeScript dev experience for larger/longer-term projects, all else being equal. You spend an hour or two configuring your build tooling and then don't really have to mess with it much after that. But I also never bother setting up TypeScript for JS one-offs or scripts (where I would bother to add Python type annotations in those cases), so make of that what you will.

Deno is currently trying to bridge that gap - putting TS directly in your interpreter - but right now it comes with some caveats around being a separate runtime with incompatible system APIs, unfortunately. We'll see if it takes off enough that that becomes less of an issue.

Aside:

> it's a problem made difficult by an accumulated legacy of unfortunate decisions and there just isn't enough investment to move it forward

This is funny to me because JS has an even bigger accumulated legacy of unfortunate decisions, it's just gotten an obscene amount of investment to move it forward despite all odds ;)
I'm glad that strong typing is getting popular and it's not just for weak minds anymore.

But (for new projects anyway) what's the point of using Python with types instead of using a real typed language like Java or C#?

What I like about wsb is it is fueled by endless optimism and celebrates wins and losses equally, with a sense of humor that the rest of Reddit or the internet cannot tolerate anymore. In the comments of a good due diligence (DD) post, you usually find people saying "I don't understand anything, but I'm in". And frankly speaking, that's fun. There's no politics or moral posturing on there. HN, on the other hand, is a gold mine for skepticism, almost like a "code review" but for ideas, which can get a bit negative at times. I will continue to visit both communities.

Why are comments about twitter's censorious nature being downvoted? The two main topics here (in my view) are 1. Twitter's response to Substack and how this move will impact the two companies and 2. the fact that some of Substack's most prominent users are writers who are refugees from other platforms (Andrew Sullivan from New York magazine, Bari Weiss from the New York Times etc.) who left because of the suppression-of-unpopular-speech trends that Twitter is now famous for.

So Revue is what, Substack minus fees plus twitter viewpoint-enforcement? In any event I think this topic (censorship) at least bears discussion and I encourage users here not to downvote the discussion in the name of "suppressing right wingers" or similar. Twitter does not just ban right wingers. Take a look at the list of prominent people banned from twitter[0], it includes people such as Talib Kweli, Zuby (both rappers), "The IT Crowd" creator Graham Linehan, numerous political satire accounts, numerous feminists, and numerous artists and others for death threats towards such potential victims as "the Planters mascot Mr. Peanut," "a dead mosquito" and "the country Austria" (issued by an Austrian artist).

If you have strong contrary views, you are probably in the danger zone for getting a twitter suspension or ban if someone wants to make a point of reporting you. Censorship should definitely be part of this discussion of Revue.

no, it should not. The point of modern data warehouses like Snowflake is that you run the transformations in the warehouse, vs. some external transformation layer (think Informatica).

In the old approach, you would run the transform BEFORE loading data into the warehouse. The disadvantage of that approach is that you loose all fidelity of the raw data.

In the new approach (Airbyte's approach), you load the raw data into the warehouse, and then run your transform jobs in the warehouse. You can do that because modern warehouses are cheap and scalable. The benefit of that approach is that you keep your raw data with all its fidelity, opening up endless opportunities for exploratory slicing and dicing.

That's why it's called "ELT" (new) these days, to distinguish from "ELT" (old).

I have worked at FAANGs before.

I am in firm agreement. I think that far too many people are trying to solve the problems that they wish that they had, rather than making it easy to solve the ones that they do have. Going to something like Kubernetes when there is no particular reason for it is a good example of that trend.

When you really need distributed, there is no substitute. But far more think that they need it than do.
The thing about these types of events is that if everyone prepares against them they will never happen.
I don't think that is a very charitable reading of this conversation.

The topic of the post is career / financial implication of voting against the certification of elections. I think fleshing out exactly what that means is an important part of the "debate", as you say.

I don't think pointing out that Democrats voted against certification in 2004 is a defense of what Trump and the Republicans did in any way. I think its an important clarifying point in deciding how we want to treat voting against certification.

Crying whataboutism is a very tempting way to avoid nuance. I see a lot of people propose dramatic, sweeping action. When the consequences and implications of those actions are brought up, everyone cries whataboutism.

> We should defund all politicians who vote against certification

> Voting against certification is a normal thing that people from both parties have done, maybe we should come up with better criteria?

> How dare you bring up $PartyA, I only want to talk about $PartyB
Yet many data that aren't listed under it can also be used to harm minorities, and many data that are, can not.

How exactly does biometric data to identify a person, but not a name and address to do the same differ in how much it can be used to harm minorities?

They are both a means to uniquely triangulate the identity of a person, one is arbitrarily allowed but the other is not. It's as arbitrary as if not permitting murder with poisons, but permit it so long as it be done with a knife.

Oh yeah?

Haven't there been complaints about immigration enforcement pertaining to drivers licenses? Not to mention that driving infractions are basically a racket - it costs more to defend your innocence than to just pay the fine. In some states the magistrates hearing the cases aren't even members of the bar and lack basic understanding of legal principles.

They've used library records to see if people have checked out books containing specific information when doing investigations, I think without a warrant. I think I've heard of people accumulating massive late fees multiple times the cost of a replacement book without adequate notification.

In both examples, you are paying for a privilege. Should people need to pay to exercise their rights, like freedom of speech? We do tax some rights already, so I guess we could tax people to express their ideas online too. I also think the control of people's speech is more politically valuable than controlling access to libraries or drivers licenses.
This. Using any database requires building up an expertise and understanding how to use its capabilities properly. If you hit a wall with a non-distributed database and your solution is to replace it with a distributed one - you will have a bad time. The surface area of what you need to know to use it properly still includes your basic data modeling, indices, troubleshooting that was required before, with a whole lot of networking, consensus protocols and consistency models to worry about (just to name a few).
In Javascript how are they able to retrieve something from the cache? Local, session, and cookies are domain locked.
If there's more money to be made from keeping people sick than outright curing them, that logically is a disincentive from curing them.

It's not conspiracy thinking to look at the incentive structures within systems to predict possible negative outcomes.

Of course, there's a moral incentive to not keep people sick, but history shows that we can not rely on people acting morally. The pessimism is justified.

If we expect companies to provide cures over treatments, we at least must allow them to profit as much or more from a cure as they would from a treatment.
When I was a kid and learning to program, I wrote some shitty databases for fun. I learned about the trade-offs and that it was easy to write a database that out-performed RDBMSes in specific criteria. But I hadn't thought of making them extensible.

I have a pet project I'm working on, which is a generi distributed system where each component is a microservice. It turns out there's lots of these things built already, mainly by systems engineers for obscure things (Airflow, Rundeck, Stackstorm being some examples). I'll probably think about how I can redesign my project with composeable databases in mind. I don't expect I'll ever have a working product, but it'll be useful to think about this problem.

True. Though I'd err on the side of caution in case someone in the team makes a PR to enable templating or user data somewhere that uses this code under the hood. Currently working in healthcare, so it's safest to work under the assumption of "don't introduce anything unsafe if possible, even if we know data is sanitized by us". Just in case one day that data is _not_ supplied by us.

RE. perf, I initially used Realms and it was fine. Right now I'm using wasm for templating and cuelang parsing - the speed is _good enough_ for the current UI, though I haven't really done strict performance testing yet, being honest :(

This is not at all equivalent though. Netflix isn't refusing to allow this on their platform, they just weren't willing to pay for it.

For as long as I can remember! My first real fear of "ghosts" as a child was from a sleep paralysis episode where I had the usual hallucinations that go with it.

Every morning when I "wake" into sleep paralysis, I'm lucky if I'm shaken awake because I can signal it with my breathing. Either way, I will wake up after some struggle... and it is so exhausting that I will sometimes fall back asleep, only have sleep paralysis again. It means I wake up stressed!

A bonus is that I also "fall" into sleep paralysis when going to bed. Having to make up to 4 attempts to fall asleep can be frustrating...

Here is the combo! I can barely breathe through my nose, so if I experience sleep paralysis whilst I'm on my side, front, or somehow under the covers, I will feel like I'm suffocating... when I pull out of it, my eyes will feel strained and on rare occasions bloodshot.

There have been a lot of moves like this by the big oil companies lately. It reminds me of a Stephen King short story called "The Jaunt."

The story is about the world after man has invented teleportation. Aside from being a handy way for the mafia to dispose of bodies, it also made burning dinosaurs unnecessary for transportation. So all of the big oil companies went into water. They became Shell Oil and Water, Exxon Oil and Water, British Fluids, etc.

How much of the US/CA (excluding Quebec) relationship is enabled by common language and extremely similar cultures? The center of gravity of the EU isn't English speaking, so I'd expect relations to be at least somewhat more distant.

This is definitely interesting, but I feel it's already somewhat lacking in terms of transparency, which is obviously fundamental to the success of a worker co-op.

From FAQ 3, the event is "free", but on closer inspection, when trying to RSVP, the free tickets are actually all gone, and you're required to make a "contribution" of at least $5 to get a ticket. That's totally cool, I accept that if there were an infinite number of free tickets it wouldn't be manageable, but I can't find any information at all on how many free tickets there were, or how many are available at each tier. (In the nicest possible way of saying this) I haven't heard of you before, and I have no reason to think that the lack of free tickets at this point isn't artificial scarcity to try to coerce me into paying for access to this "free" event. I'd like to think that's not the case, but without a clearer picture of the scale, it's a bitter pill to swallow, and doesn't instil confidence as to the future direction of the project.

Or maybe I'm missing something obvious, I'd be delighted to be wrong here.
I think the main difference is that software being open source (and maintained by a larger community!) provides wider accountability and visibility to code changes, thus reducing potential security flaws.
